Saving lives through prevention
Taking control of cancer doesn’t just mean extending survival and improving quality of life. It also means investing in research to better prevent cancer so that fewer people hear the words “you have cancer.”

The study also provided valuable information on the most significant preventable causes of cancer to help inform and target future prevention research and policies.
Here are just a few of the ways CCS-funded research on cancer prevention has had an impact on saving lives:
